oh, i like the concept of masteries - it does give you something to aim for other than the end of the levels.
The bit I was about was the supposed changes to breed times - I mean, a walrus takes 5 days to breed as it is - if they started doubling up that for each of the 4 animlas you need per mastery level it would get ridiculous!
but now it seems that the breed times aren't changing - my Komodo dragon time (first one bred) has stayed the same, and on the animlas I'm on silver on, it has stayed the same too, so not sure hwat they were meaingn inthe example i quoted earlier...
